Vikes’ Sidney Rice another tall order for Cowboys secondary

The Chargers’ Vincent Jackson caught seven passes for 120 yards in leading the AFC West champs to a 20-17 win on Dec. 13 at Cowboys Stadium.

“It’s going to be kind of the same situation as it was with San Diego,” Dallas CB Mike Jenkins said. “They are going to try to throw a lot of jump balls. And he (Rice) can jump. We just have to play our game.”

Rice led the Vikings with 83 catches for 1,312 yards (15.8 average) with eight TDs.

Jenkins said he would rather face “big guys” like Rice rather than “quick guys” like the Eagles’ DeSean Jackson, who got shut down by Dallas in all three meetings this season.

“You can get your hands on the big guys at the line because they are bigger targets,” Jenkins said. “They are more vulnerable with the jump balls.”
